Post processing wise both LR and Aperture are pretty much the same and neither one of them replaces Photoshop! And except the really neat features like Faces and Places, Aperture 3 has really not that much new to come around with and: I downloaded the 30 day trial and noticed that it needs way more RAM (I have 4GB) and totally stresses out my MacBook — LightRoom 3 does not! I am staying with LR for now. Well, I need to disagree on that! Post processing wise both LR and Aperture are pretty much the same and neither one of them replaces Photoshop!

With LR you have (eventually) to buy Photoshop CS4. There goes $1000 against $200 of Aperture which has LR PS in one package. Aperture in easer overall. And almost the same adjustments. No candy enhancements. Sorry Adobe prefer Aperture. I prefer Aperture 3 against LR 3.

Third-party applications for working with tunes, games, papers and magazine and FFS books, all sorts of awesome stuff, but IMHO they just didn't really sell it very well (aside from the books).

I am using Lightroom now but if Apple releases Aperture 3 anytime in the near future (who believes the rumors?) that problem should be solved by it self.

I think you may have had the same problem as me. I have Snow Leopard running and Aperture 2 with upgrades and I cannot create a vault. I click on the buttons and nothing, then Aperutre freezes up will it processing previews.... Irs driving me nuts... and guidance?? Thanks in advance, Darrell McKay Just searching for some help.

I found I was completely uninspired by Aperture which is strange for me to say about an Apple product. Little things made it difficult to keep track of photos/projects and there didn't seem to be even half as many organisational options as I've found in Lightroom. The colour flags/picks/rejects etc make it easy to import/filter/dispose all in one swift movement. By using this I can set up easy smart collections to filter the imports. Colour tag all the photos that still require me to filter through with a yellow tag, then all the picks with a pick flag. I found Aperture lacking in ways to automatically filter your shots, other than keywords/filenames and this proved problematic when trying to organise stock photos/the sites they are uploaded/rejected/accepted at. I do like the integration aspect of Aperture more however, and it will take time to get used to not being able to find photos as easily on Mac OSX, but I figure any photos I'll be sharing/slideshowing I will just import into iPhoto and be done with it. I think Lightrooms links to Photoshop in the end edge out the integration for me. I find I barely need to load up Photoshop anymore in Lightroom as a lot of it's most useful functions (when batch editing photos) are right there in Lightroom. I haven't finished my transition just yet, but I definitely think Lightroom is significantly better than Aperture, and with Lightroom 3 on the horizon and not a peep out of Apple about a new Aperture I can only see the gap in quality further increasing. Come on Apple, step it up! I’ve just begun to make the switch from Aperture to Lightroom.

In my opinion Lightroom is faster than Aperture and has some more abilities — picture editing wise. Not to forget the color labels! I am happy with Lightroom and am happy that I switched. Photoshop is not necessary for everybody but some editing is just not available in Lightroom (for example better retouch or special lightning / textures)! I am happy to use Photoshop CS4 for that.

Somewhat hurried to showing my photos, but happy. Now after sleepless nights of reading the hundreds of forums, I got my perfect camera (EOS 5DII), and was very happy again testing what the digital cameras have to offer, until I find the canon bundle software sucked... Now I have to make a choice on selecting/buying a Transfering/editing/sorting software... I hope I can get to more creative things soon... And Do I need Photoshop as well, for after processes? I'm just in the process of testing out the two software out. Very confusing. Some people are totally in love with Aperture, I was going to go for IT, but recently I find many are leaving for LR. Any pointers on what I should test out on both software? Is the speed that bad? I sort of imagined that since Aperture was a Apple product, it's compatability with the system would be better than Lightroom... Is it not worth the time to test even? What are you guys going to miss in LR that Aperture had? Do you miss the full screen view for example? Actually I have no idea where to start! Any pointers please! I use 17" MBP OS 10.6.1, 2.8 GHz Core 2 duo, 4GB ram. Thanks, Takeshi I think I will cut/paste this message to post onto other forums as well. Hi,
